Click Bait Alert: Ned Stark To Make Game Of Thrones Return. Possibly

It looks like Ned Stark could be back in Game Of Thrones season six… though even if he is, Sean Bean certainly won’t be playing him.

According to WatchersOnTheWall.com (so file under rumours for the moment) reliable sources have told them that 13-year-old English actor Sebastian Croft has been cast as Young Ned.

Croft is an experience actor having appeared in London West End productions of Matilda and Les Miserables. He also starred as Oliver in a UK national tour of Oliver! and played the title role in the new musical version of The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 ¾. Blimey, will he break into song in Game Of Thrones?

Presumably we’ll be seeing young Ned in flashback, then. Unless the Three-Eyed Raven has some really freaky resurrection skills or Melisandre discovers time travel.
